This is Taz - he's our foster cat. We started taking care of him when his owner went to Iraq. When his owner came back from Iraq he didn't know if he'd have to go back or not, so we just sort of unofficially adopted Taz. He's pretty old, we're not exactly sure HOW old, but around 12 or 13 human years. He's just a "grumpy old man" cat - so he likes to lay around, sleep, eat and poop ALOT! What a life!
Gabby bought Taz a little bed for Christmas because he likes to sleep under the barstools and she felt sorry for him laying on the hard floor.
For Christmas David's sister bought Taz and our other cat Scat a catnip mat. They LOVE it. Taz hogs it all the time, so now add to his daily list of things to do: lay around, sleep, eat, poop and GET HIGH! I know, I know, the catnip is MEDICINIAL, right Taz?
There's a great interview with Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner about Season 2 and 3 in the Chicago Tribune. Very interesting tidbits if you're interested . . . like finally letting us know that Peggy's baby is NOT being raised by her sister. I KNOW I was shocked too! There's more - check it out.
Can you tell I really miss this televsion show?
I spent hours of my childhood pouring over these ads - studying all the details and dreaming of having the money to order all this stuff! In fact, I still want to order all this stuff! sigh.

This is list of some city names that I like - for no apparent reason since I've not been to most of these places I just like the way the names sound: Continue Reading...
Tim Gunn. I love him. I want to adopt him as my uncle. He's the perfect uncle I think, charming, funny, a tad eccentric and very sweet. I want him to come over for Thanksgiving Dinner. He would be appalled at my fashion sense, but luckily he'd be full of wonderful and well-spoken advice to set me right. If Mr. Gunn needs a fashion-impaired niece I'm just letting him know I'm available. I think it could work.
